Home By Bearna

[Verso 1]
 
Em 
In Scartaglen there lived a lass 
    D 
And every Sunday after mass 
Em 
She would go and take a glass 
  D                   Em 
Before goin' home by Bearna 
Em 
We won't go home along the road 
   D 
For fear that you might act the rogue 
  Em 
We won't go home along the road 
D             Em 
We'll go home by Bearna 
 


[Verso 2]
 
Em 
We won't go home across the fields 
    D 
The big thornins could stick in your heels 
Em 
We won't go home across the fields 
    D            Em 
We'll go home by Bearna 
Em 
We won't go home around the glen 
    D 
For fear your blood might rise again 
Em 
We won't go home around the glen 
    D              Em 
But we'll go home by Bearna 
 


[Verso 3]
 
Em 
We won't go down the milk boreen 
    D 
The night is bright we might be seen 
Em 
We won't go down the milk boreen 
    D             Em 
But we'll go home by Bearna 
Em 
We won't go home across the bog 
   D 
In fear we might meet Kearneys dog 
Em 
We won't go home across the bog 
    D              Em 
But we'll go home by Bearna.
